Hints - Undoing Knot in Ribbon

Just noticed the bougainvillea in flower. Looks beautiful,
pity they have to beso thorny. While working on an embroidery I got a knot in my ribbon,so I thought I would pass this hint on.This can happen at times either, when you want to take out
a previous stitchor have made a slight error.You may have already realised how to dothis, but incase there is someone out there, this may be of help.This saves your ribbon, as leaving the knot in will definitely showin your work.

You will notice a curved pocket on the lower edge ofthe ribbon. Take your Chenille Needle, eye end in backwards through this pocket.

Re thread the ribbon through the eye of the needleand pull it back through. You will have a small hole, but with some manipulatingthis will close over.
